Fighting stage 2 breast cancer: help Anna afford treatment in San Jose
Anna is facing stage 2 breast cancer and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.
🇺🇸 California, United States6,475 views
In August I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. My oncology team at the San Jose Oncology Institute has planned 10 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in October. I was told to expect about 6 weeks away from work.
I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 27, I worked as a nurse until August, and I have been the main earner for my household.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to the San Jose Oncology Institute 4 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly.
My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries.
I'll post every invoice and receipt as an update so donors can follow where each gift goes.
Where the $11,100 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $8,500
• Scans and lab work: $1,650
• Transport to the San Jose Oncology Institute: $950
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this, Anna. I hope things turn around soon. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings
Hope it all works out, Anna. Hope this works out for you!
Rooting for you, Anna. Wishing Anna a smooth procedure and a full recovery. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of San Jose
